Tourniquet lyrics

Song information

Artist: Marilyn Manson
Album: We Forget: The Best Of Marilyn Manson

Lyrics

She's made of hair and bone and little teeth
Things I cannot speak
She comes on like a crippled plaything
Spine is just a string

I wrapped our love in all this foil
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
But flies will always lay their eggs

Chorus:
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet

Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch
If it hurts baby please tell me
Preserve the innocence

I never wanted it to end like this
But flies will lay their eggs (mmm, mmm, mmm)

Chorus

What I wanted
What I needed
What I got for me...x2

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Chorus

Take it out, take it out
Your not fighting me
I don't believe me!
I never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
